Chris McDaniel has beenbusy since graduating fromthe Northern Kentucky Uni-versity Master of BusinessAdministration program in2004.

Heboughthis family’sbusi-ness, McD Concrete. He andhiswifeBillie have twodaugh-ters, Mallory and Cecelia, andthree foster children. He waselected to the Kentucky StateSenate in 2012 to representKentucky's 23rd District.

And now the 37-year-oldTaylor Mill native is the 2014recipient of the Dr. Tom CateDistinguished Alumni of theYear award for the MBA pro-gram in the NKU Haile/U.S.BankCollege ofBusiness. TheawardwillbepresentedAug.8during the first night of MBABoot Camp.

Despite so much success,McDanielsaidhewasabitsur-prised by the honor.

“I received an email fromthe program director and Iwas astonished,” he said.“With all of the great things

that NKU alumni are doingaround the world every day, Iwas humbled that they wouldselect me for this award.”

Thedecisionwasn’tasdiffi-cult as the senator might be-lieve.

“We selected SenatorMcDaniel for many reasons,”MBA program director NedJackson said. “Among themare his successful academiccareer, his service in the mil-itary, his successful businesscareer as president of McDConcrete, his successful entryinto and continued tenure instate politics. He is a graduateof Leadership Northern Ken-tucky and has many industryawards. He represents thestandard to which we hold allof our award winners.”

Before attending NKU,McDaniel served four yearsas an infantry officer in theUnited States Army and grad-uated from The Citadel. Oncehe returned home, it was timeto further his education andNorthern was the place to doit.

“After leaving the Army, Ijoined the family business andknew that if I wanted to see itflourish, I needed to furthermy business education,”McDaniel said. “With conve-nient class schedules, a greatreputation, and a great loca-tion, I knew that NKUwas theright fit for me.”

He started to see resultsimmediately.

McDaniel said the best partof theNKUMBAprogramwashaving classes with profes-sors who were a mix of acade-mia and real-world practi-tioners. “This allowed the the-ory of what I learned at nightto be put into practice the nextmorning at our family busi-ness,” he said.

see a great need, and,with the parish growing,we need it for everybodyyoung, old and in be-tween,” Kaub said. “Thisbuilding will be for thefuture for everyone.”

According to the Rev.Mario J. Tizziani, pastorat St. Cecilia, that is theintention of the new Par-ish Life Center.

“The gym will be forthekids, but itwill alsobea facility forusebymem-bers of the parish,” hesaid. “The churchshouldn’t just be a placewhere people stop forMass once a week butshould be a place where

people want to spendtime, that’s their home.”

Theproject gained ap-proval from Diocese ofCovington Bishop RogerJ. Foys inMay and in lessthan two months has got-ten donations or pledgesof $2.43 million from pa-rishioners.

“It’s progressing pret-ty rapidly, and we’repraying that it comes tofruition,” Kaub said, not-ing that the congregationsays a special prayer forthe undertaking aftereachMass.

Scores of volunteersin more than a dozencommittees haveworkedtirelessly on the project,according to Kaub, andplans are currently beingdrawn by K4 Architec-ture in Cincinnati.

Church officials say theyhope to break ground inspring.

Principal KendraMcGuire said that, be-cause the student popula-tion has grown with boththe kindergarten andfirst-grade classes dou-bling over the last twoyears, studentswill bene-fit greatly from the ex-pansion.

“One of the thingswe’re lacking is the ath-letic facility,” McGuiresaid. “That isa factor thathas turned people awaybecause, along with theeducational piece, peopleare looking for the extra-curricular piece, and it’skind of the whole pack-age where they go toschool. I think this willdraw students in, as

well.”McGuire said that, al-

thoughtheschoolhasvol-leyball, basketball andsoccer teams, they haveonly soccer fields on thegrounds. The otherteams must rent local fa-cilities for practices andgames.

Drama productionsare held at Notre DameAcademy, and the addi-tion of the stage will al-low students to stay oncampus for such events.

Tizziani said the newcapabilities of the facili-ty also will allow forgreater community ac-cess. He encourages lo-cal businesses to makecontributions and saidpossible sponsorship op-portunities are available.

EDGEWOOD — It mayseem a little unusual atfirst, raising funds for aplay area at a hospicecenter, but actually it’san important need.

Keli Catalano, who’sorganizing the fundrais-ing effort to build a play

area atSt. Eliza-bethHospicein Edge-wood,under-standsthisfirst-hand.

“I re-member coming intohospice to visitmymomand I’d always see chil-dren sitting in the wait-ing areas. Some kidsspend all day visitingtheir loved ones,” Cata-lano said.

“That’s hard on a kid.Aftermymotherpassedaway, I wanted to dosomething for this won-derful place that haddone so much for her.When I looked at theirwish list the play areareally stood out to me,”she said.

Catalano decided shewanted to start a fund-raising campaign forthe playground.

“In addition to thisbeing something forchildren inneed, it’s alsosomething soothing forthose in hospice care,”shesaid.“It’ssoothingtoseechildrenplayingandto know that life con-tinues on.”

SoCatalanohasstart-ed a campaign throughthe online fundraisingsite gofundme.com. Toreward and encouragemore donors, she’s of-fering a deal throughher humor-based greet-ing card business Co-lette Paperie in North-side. For every donationof $10 or more, ColettePaperie will give them10 free greeting cards, a$45 value. Other busi-nesses have chipped inand are sponsoring giv-ing levels too. Forexam-ple, donations of $50 re-ceive a gift card to theEagle Bar & Grill inOver-the-Rhine.

So far Catalano hasraised $2,781. A total of$25,000 is needed. Cata-lano said she’s hopefulthat by getting the wordout,morepeoplewill do-nate and the totalwill beraised as early as Octo-ber of this year.

She said this projectis very important to herbecause of her motherand the care she re-ceived while at hospice.

“I would love to dosomething on a grandscale for St. Elizabeth,”she said. “My motherwas always active in thecommunity. I’m tryingto do something that shewould have done. Itfeels great to do some-thing like this in mymom’s memory.”

Director of Hospiceand Palliative Care Pro-grams Brian Jones ishappy to have Catala-no’s support.

Rahner aces Latin examthird year in a row

Perfect scores are hard tocome by – especially if you’re

talking about theNational LatinExam, spon-sored by theAmericanClassi-cal League andthe National Ju-nior ClassicalLeague.

But for threeyears in a row

CovingtonLatin student, JamesRahner(2015)hasachievedper-fection.

“Students are alwaysthrilled todowell on theNation-al Latin Exam, and CLS alwayshas students who write perfectpapers. But, for James to have

done that three years in a row isreally exceptional,” said KellyKusch, Latin teacher at CLS.“HisknowledgeofLatinandhisattention to detail have servedhimwell. I’m hoping he’ll writea perfect paper again nextyear.”

In addition to Rahner’s out-standing achievement, Coving-ton Latin also had three otherstudents garner perfect scoreson the 2014 National Latin Ex-am: Kelly Bilz (2014), GabrielleCottingham (2017) and Eliza-beth Johnson (2017).

INDEPENDENCE — Twomonths later, and Troy Robertsand his Simon Kenton Pioneersbaseball team are still beingrecognized for their historic2014 season.

The Pioneers advanced tothe state championship game inJune. On Aug. 4, the Independ-ence city council issued a proc-lamation recognizing the teamand its accomplishments.

After the surprising tourna-ment run, the summer hasflown by, but there has been abit of time to reflect.

“Basically, it’s been a whirl-wind of a summer,” said Rob-erts. “It’sgot tobesuchaspecialthing for our kids. It’s just beena great summer for them, I’msure.”

Simon Kenton had a goodteam going into the season, butweathered some ups and downsthroughout the year. The teamentered postseason play with a17-16 record. Starting pitchingcarried the Pioneers throughthe tournament and helped Si-monKenton overcomea slewofobstacles. The team capturedlightning inabottlewhile actuallightning delayed or suspendedmultiple tournament games. Itwas a wild ride, but one thatbrought the team closer togeth-er.

“It seems like it makes itmorespecialwhenitsunexpect-ed,” Roberts said. “Our guysplayed well at the right time. Itwas an incredible ride.”

Once the Pioneers qualifiedfor the state tournament, a de-cent contingentofPioneerspar-ents, teacher, and administra-

tors attended the first game atWhitaker Bank Ballpark. As Si-mon Kenton continued its run,more fans and former playersmade their way down. Robertsestimates that of the 2,400 fansreported at the championshipgame, two-thirds were SimonKenton supporters.

After the season ended, Rob-erts would be stopped bystrangers whenever he wore aSimon Kenton baseball hat orshirt inpublic.Withoutknowingthat he was the head coach ofthe unlikely state runners-up,they would strike up a conver-sation about the team’s remark-able run to the state final. Withthe recognition continuing allsummer, the community sup-port is appreciated.

“That just makes it all reallycool,” said Roberts. “It allbrings back great moments.”

Simon Kentonbaseball recognizedfor historic 2014By Adam [email protected]

Inaspanof less thanaweek,Mike Listerman experienced achain of events that he couldnot have predicted four yearsago when he was coaching theCovington Catholic basketballteam. Friday morning, he wasnamed head basketball coachat Holmes, CovCath’s cross-town, district, and regional ri-val. The hiring came four daysafter Jason Booher announcedhis resignation as Holmescoach, citing family reasonsand career goals.

On Saturday, Listerman, 61,and wife Jeanie celebratedtheir 40th wedding anniversa-ry with children, including thefamilies of youngest son, Kev-in Listerman, 37, the headcoach at Highlands, and oldestson Andy Listerman, 39, El-der’s freshman coach. Thereare two sisters. The Listermanbrothers played basketball to-gether at CovCath and North-ern Kentucky University. An-dy also has been an assistantcoach at Lexington Catholic,butThis is just the second timethat the three men will coachboys’ teams in the same area,with two as head coach. Allthree teach at their respectiveschools.

“The first thing Andy want-ed to know was when CovCathplays Highlands. It’s a Fridaynight, Feb.6,”KevinListermansaid. “I’m just so happy forDad, that he’s getting anotherchance to head coach. I’m nottoo concerned about the gamein the respect that it’s a longway off.”

Holmesanddefendingstatechampion CovCath could meetthree times in 2014-15, with aregular-seasondistrictseedinggame, possibly a 35th Districttournament contest and possi-bly aNinthRegion tournamentshowdown. They will be dis-trict and regional co-favorites,with a strong regional chal-lenge from Newport CentralCatholic.

MikeListerman,230-99in12seasons at CovCath with a pairof regional titles, and a statesemifinal appearance in 2004,saidhehasgrownusedtowear-ing his customary sleeveless

sweater in shades of red afterso many years wearing a blueone at CovCath. But this latesttwist to the storied hoops rival-ry’s colorful history was com-pletely unexpected, even afterhis three years on Holmes’bench as one of Booher’s assis-tants.

Holmes has won the regionfour times in eight years, andcaptured the state champion-ship in 2008-09, the season be-foreBooher’sarrival.TheBull-dogswere the last repeatNinthRegion champion, with threetitles in a row in 2007, ‘08 and‘09.

“What a roller coaster ride,just an unbelievable turn ofevents in my coaching career,and an unexpected anniversa-ry gift,” said the elder Lister-man, who inherits Mr. Ken-tucky Basketball contender,senior point guard James Bol-den, a West Virginia recruit.“We’re not as big as last year,but we’re going to get them inthe best shape they’ve everbeen in, and put Holmes in thebest position possible to winstate. If you had told me fouryears ago that I’d be sayingthat thedaybeforemy40th an-niversary, and taken it to Ve-gas, you would’ve solidifiedyour future with that bet.”

Like many basketballplayers in Northern Ken-tucky, Brad Carr re-ceived some of his earlyteachings from coachinglegend Ken Shields.

Carr, the head boysbasketball coach at ScottHigh School, took part incamps with Shields inothers back in the day,and thisweekhehasbeenhelping local youths withtheir basketball journey.

“When I was a kid, Iwent to free camps andclinics sponsored by Co-vington Recreation,” hesaid. “Coach Shields wasthe camp coordinator.You didn’t have to payanything there. You gothere and you get goodquality instruction. It’sprobably why I fell inlove with basketball.”

Carr is the camp coor-dinator for the TayshaunPrince Camp, which ranAug. 4-6 at Thomas MoreCollege and surroundingelementaries. Roughly150 youths took part inthe basketball clinic,which benefits the localKicks for Kids organiza-tion.

Prince, a former Uni-versity of Kentuckystandout, will enter his13th season in the NBAthis fall and third overallwith the Memphis Griz-zlies. He scored 1,775points in a UK uniformand helped the Wildcatsto97winsand fourNCAATournament appear-ances. This is the fourthyear Prince has been in-volved with the localcamp.

The camp, benefittingKicks For Kids (KFK) isdesigned to teach thepar-ticipants the basic skillsof ball-handling, passing,scoring, rebounding, de-fense as well as how tocompete and be a teamplayer.

Campers received in-dividual photos withPrince, an instructionalDVD featuring the camp-er, Prince and his staff;and participate in dailyindividual and team com-petitions with awards.

All proceeds from thecamphelpfundKFK’sen-richment programs de-signed to benefit areayouth.Founded in1995byDoug Pelfrey, a ScottHigh School graduateand former CincinnatiBengal placekicker,KFK’s mission is to levelthe playing field for localchildren at risk. ServingNorthern Kentucky,Greater Cincinnati, andSoutheastern Indiana,KFK offers a variety ofunique and exciting op-portunities to childrenwho are challenged men-tally, physically, or envi-ronmentally; through acollaborative effort withother local kids’ organi-zations.

SomeofCarr’spresentand former Scott playersas well as Simon Kentonplayers and CalvaryChristian coaches helpedwith the camp.

“Hopefully you cansay you touch kids and beable to do that, give backto Northern Kentucky inthis capacity,” Carr said.“They talk about levelingthe playing field for kids.They’re trying to give

these kids a start and apush in the right direc-tion. It’s a quality pro-gram.”

Among things on theagenda this week wereappearances by North-ern Kentucky standoutpointguardsJames“Bee-tle” Bolden of Holmesand Nick Ruthsatz of Co-vington Catholic on Tues-day, alongwith their headcoaches. Luke Kennard,an elite prospect out ofFranklin (Ohio) HighSchool who has appearedat the camp the past twoseasons, was scheduledto come back on Wednes-day.

The NewYork Times, apaper that has many timesprinted articles endorsing theprohibition of cannabis andeditorializing in favor of con-tinuing this prohibition hasthrown in the towel. Sunday,

July 27, sawthe end ofthat position.The Timeseditorialboard ran aneditorialcalling forthe end ofcannabisprohibition.The Timesjoins severalconservativepublications

such as The National Reviewin this position.

The Times rightly consid-ered the evidence and decidedprohibition is a failure and thetime has come for full legal-ization on the federal level.Public opinion has moved onthis issue over the last 20years and at this time themajority of Americans favor,not just medical cannabis, butfull legalization for the indus-trial, medical and recreationaluse of marijuana.

The Office of Drug ControlPolicy, (ONDCP), respondedof course. Their response waswhat you would expect, vagueassertions of negative out-comes when using cannabisfor any reason. Interestingly,as public knowledge of canna-bis and its many uses becomecommon, the ONDCP hasbecomemore selective in itspredictions of doom andgloom. They cited four talkingpoints as the reasons for con-tinuing the total prohibition ofcannabis.

1. Marijuana affects thedeveloping brain. This onestarted in 2009 when GordonBrown was PrimeMinister ofEngland. He wanted to raisepenalties for cannabis claim-ingmarijuana causedmentalillness and schizophrenia. Hewas trying to gin up votesfrom the Conservatives. Hischief medical adviser quit

over it. Since then, with noevidence to support it, thisnotion has devolved to, “Can-nabis causes schizophrenia inteens” and from that to, “cog-nitive impairment in the de-veloping brain.” None of thishas any solid evidence tosupport it.

2. Marijuana has a detri-mental effect on academicachievement. Students whoget D’s and E’s are more likelyto be cannabis users. OK.Let’s just say that having lowgrades are also more likely tocome from teenagers living indysfunctional circumstances.Which came first, dysfunc-tional families or cannabisuse?Most likely the dysfunc-tional family.

These first two points aremoot anyway because canna-bis will still remain illegal forpersons under 21.

3. Marijuana is addictive.Yes cannabis is somewhataddictive in the same way icecream or Twinkies or televi-sion can be addictive and wehaven’t made them illegal tosave the citizens from them.

4. Drugged driving is athreat to our roadways. Thisone’s easy to debunk. Like theschizophrenia claim, one hasonly to ask, “Where are thebodies?” Just as there are nonumbers supporting theschizophrenia claim there isno increase in traffic acci-dents to support this claimeither. Seventeen years ofCalifornians accessing canna-bis and no numbers showingany increase in accidents.

Seventy-seven years ofpropaganda and the suppres-sion of personal freedom andit all comes down to four talk-ing points debunked. Theprohibition of cannabis hasbeen as dismal a failure as the13-year prohibition of alcoholwas. We have destroyedmil-lions of lives and wasted bil-lions in treasure and forwhat? Can we just stop itnow?

Cannabisprohibition, canwe just stop it?

Questions statementabout Erlanger tax rates

There is an old saying thatyou can have numbers saywhat you want them to say.

Mayor Rouse’s guest col-umn of July 24 stated that“Erlanger’s tax rates sitsquarely in the middle of thepack of all Northern Kentuckycommunities.”

His statement is far fromthe truth.

Erlanger’s property tax rateof 0.3570 per $100 valuation isthe sixth highest of the 36 cit-ies in Northern Kentucky.

The tangible tax rate of0.6780 per 100 valuation is theseventh highest in NorthernKentucky. These are 2013rates.

The above information wastaken from public recordslisted on Northern KentuckyCommunity Profile.

Mayor Rouse needs to ex-plain himself.

Ed NordlohErlanger

Should taxes pay forreproductive issues?

While The Hobby Lobbydecision focused on companiesbeing required to insure con-traceptive devices, it alsobrought to mind again thequestion of whether or not taxmoney should be spent on re-productive issues.

There is the basic biologicalfact that babies are an absolutenecessity. Without themwebecome extinct.

Viagra and products likethat can help create new lifeby making a male human ableto perform the deed of fertiliz-ing the egg. Contraceptivedevises of any kind are de-signed to prevent new life.Abortion is a surgical proce-dure which kills new life.

That being the case, whereshould our tax dollars bespent? Creating new life, pre-venting new life or killing thenew life before it can be born?

Thanks for bringingbenefit to light

I want to thank the Record-er and columnist CharlesBrewer for “Little-known ben-efit can help veterans.” Thisbenefit available for veteransand their families can be diffi-cult to navigate and it’s heart-breaking to hear of familieswho have wasted their money.

The VA has implemented aFully Developed Claims Proc-ess to apply for the pension aswell as other VA benefits. Thisprocess is designed to stream-line claims that are ready to bedecided the moment they enterthe VA system. Residents inKentucky can locate contactinformation for their localrepresentative at veterans.ky-.gov or by calling 502-595-4447.A veteran can confirm accredi-tation at va.gov/ogc/apps/ac-creditation/index.asp.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

July 31 questionWhat do you consider the

most important races/issues inthe November election?Why arethey important?

“School board, because ourchildren are the future of ourcommunity.”

Carrie Cox

“None. It’s all a game be-tween the two-party systempitting us against one another.”

John Bernard

“The school board electionspresent a situation where fresheyes and ears can become animmediate majority.”

Aaron Gillum

“... Get back to the Constitu-tion with focus on freedom andliberty. Both parties areflawed.”

Joe Kalil

“Closing the gap on finan-cial inequality via the Senate.”

Lesley Chambers

“The near-term future ofKentucky depends in largepart on who will occupy theU.S. Senate seat for our com-

monwealth. Kentucky Secre-tary of State Alison LunderganGrimes has launched a hugeeffort to unseat incumbentMitch McConnell. Grimes hastaken positions on Kentucky’skey issues: job creation andraising the minimumwage,pay equity for women, supportof our coal industry and reduc-ing the federal regulations thatweigh down our energy indus-try. She opposes McConnell’sgoal to privatize Social Securi-ty, and she has spoken outstrongly against McConnell’splan to destroy Medicare as weknow it.

“Grimes is not owned bycorporations and has not beendulled into the torpor and ri-gidity of Washington politics

and politicians.“McConnell has, time after

time, voted against raising theminimumwage. He declared inpublic that creating jobs is nothis job. If McConnell has beensuch a promoter of resourcesfor Kentucky, how come weare still mired in unemploy-ment, low wages, attacks onthe coal industry, inequalityfor women, staggering studentdebt and grave citizen healthissues?

“Alison will bring freshenergy, smarter ideas, effec-tive use of modern technology,and a willingness to workacross the aisle – all of whichMcConnell has failed at.McConnell has been especiallygood at protecting the million-aires and billionaires who cur-rently runWashington.

If McConnell really had thepower, vision and sense ofresponsibility he claims tohave, how come he has beentotally unsuccessful in bring-ing federal money to NorthernKentucky to help replace theBrent Spence bridge? He hasnot been minding the store.”

It’s true. Regular oil changes, tune-ups and maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s performance and gasmileage, extend its life and increase its resale value. It can also help reduce traffic congestion due to preventablebreakdowns. But possibly most important of all, taking good care of your car could help reduce emissions bymore than half. And that should make you breathe a lot easier between oil changes. So keep it up because…

St. Elizabeth BreastCentershavebeengrant-ed a three-year full ac-creditation designationby the National Accredi-tation Program forBreast Centers(NAPBC), a program ad-ministered by the Amer-icanCollegeofSurgeons.

Accreditation by theNAPBC is only given tothose centers that havevoluntarilycommitted toprovide the highest levelof quality breast careand that undergo a rigor-ous evaluation processand review of their per-formance.

“This accreditation isa true testament of thecommitment of our doc-tors and associates whohelp guide patients andfamilies on their individ-ual journeys to well-ness,” saidJohnS.Dubis,president and CEO of St.Elizabeth Healthcare.

“We are turning pa-tients into survivors ev-ery day, and this distinc-tion demonstrates thatSt.Elizabethcontinuestodeliver the quality andpatient experiencewom-en seek.”

During the surveyprocess, the center must

demonstrate compliancewith standards estab-lished by the NAPBC fortreating women who arediagnosed with the fullspectrum of breast dis-ease. The standards in-clude proficiency in theareas of: center leader-ship, clinical manage-ment, research, commu-nity outreach, profes-sional education, andquality improvement. Abreast center thatachieves NAPBC ac-creditation has demon-strated a firm commit-ment to offer its patientsevery significant advan-tage in their battleagainst breast disease.

TheAmericanCancerSociety (ACS) estimatedthat there would be232,340 patients diag-nosed with invasivebreast cancer in theUnited States in 2013. Inaddition, hundreds ofthousandsofwomenwhowill deal with benignbreast disease this yearwill require medicalevaluation for treatmentoptions.

BrynMooth, whowrites the food blogWrites4Food.com, amongother creative endeav-

ors,stopped bymy homelast weekto visit myherb gar-den andchat.

Wefound outwe had lotsin commonwhen it

comes to food and gar-dening, though I will sayBryn looks way tooyoung to be so accom-plished. Her blog hasdoable, really good reci-pes with beautiful pho-tos. One that caught myeye recently was herFrench picnic salad in ajar. Oh my gosh, I want-ed to dig into the photowith a fork, it looked thatgood. I’m sharing therecipe here.

By the way, this fallshe’ll be publishing herbook “The Findlay Mar-ket Cookbook” with sto-ries and recipes thatcelebrate our unique andhistoric Findlay Market.The book focuses on foodthat vendors are proud tosell along with their sto-ries and histories.

MyMom and Daddrove their Chevy toFindlay just about everyweek when we were kids.They had certain favor-ite vendors who knewthem by name just like Ido today. Mom and Dadalways got good bar-gains, witnessed by atrunk load of ethnicfoods for our Lebanesetable!

Bryn’s Frenchpicnic salad in a jar

Bryn says: “A beauti-ful layered salad in a jar(She used a Weck .5LMold jar), perfect fortransporting to a picnicor, less romantically, tothe office. You could spinthis salad-in-a-jar thing amillion different ways,but I went for a riff onthe classic French ni-coise salad, with steamedpotatoes, green beansand a mustardy vinai-grette. If you layer thedressing on the bottomand the lettuce on thetop, then your salad in-gredients stay nice andfresh and crisp untilyou’re ready to eat, atwhich point you simplyshake the jar to distrib-ute the dressing, andstick your fork all theway to the bottom to geta bit of everything in onebite.”

Salad8 to 10 small cherry or

grape tomatoes1/2 cup shredded

cooked chickenHandful fresh green

beans, trimmed to 1-inchlengths

3 little fingerling pota-toes

Few pitted black ol-ives

3-4 leaves of butterlettuce, cut into thinribbons

Mustardy vinaigretteWhisk together:1/3 cup white-wine or

champagne vinegar3 tablespoons Dijon

mustard1 tablespoon honey1/2 cup olive oilSalt and pepperPrepare green beans

and potatoes: In a pot ofboiling salted water, cookpotatoes until just ten-der, about 8 to 10 min-utes; remove with slottedspoon to colander to cool.To the same pot, addbeans and blanch for 1minute; transfer to col-ander and run undervery cold water to stopcooking. Slice potatoesinto rounds about 1/4-inch thick.

Spoon a generoustablespoon of dressinginto bottom of jar, thenlayer rest of ingredientsin this order: cherrytomatoes, shreddedcooked chicken, greenbeans, sliced potatoes,black olives and, finally,lettuce. Keep refrigerat-ed until about 30 minutesbefore serving. Shake jarto distribute dressing.

Rita’s freshpeppermint iced tea

For Matt, who has anabundance of mint andasked: “How do I sub-stitute fresh mint for the

amount of mint that’s in ateabag?”

Take a generous cou-ple handful of mintleaves and crush them alittle between yourpalms or with a spoon torelease the healthful oils.Place into a large mug orjar. Pour 2 cups simmer-ing water over, cover andsteep about 10 minutes.Strain and taste. Addmore water if you like.Cool and pour over ice. Ilike to sweeten it withraw honey or Stevia andserve with a wedge ofcitrus.

Tips fromRita’s garden

Along with vitamin C,mint is a good digestiveherb and the tea is anatural coolant.

UNION — In 2005 St.Timothy’s parish first be-came acquainted with St.Charles Academy, aschool in Solwezi, Zambia,Africa, for orphaned, vul-nerable children.

These children,deemed the “throw-aways,” were brought tothe church’s attentionthrough then-parishion-ers Ted and Mona Lewis.

In 2006 the school wasto be closed due to lack offunds.

St. Timothy’s re-sponse? A commitment tofinancially assist with$2,000 a year.

That’s how the annualSt. Timothy/St. CharlesLongest Yard Sale eventwas born.

Today St. CharlesAcademy remains openbecause of St. Timothyparish’s pledge. Since thefirst yard sale in 2007,$38,500 in financial aidhas been provided, pro-ceeds derived from theone-day yard sale event.

Sister Norma, theschool’s director, and theteaching staff operate theschool almost solely on St.Tim’s yearly donation.

“Weareblessed tohaveyouasourpartner toworkin God’s vineyard here inSolwezi and we are gladthat you continue to keepyour promise and yourcommitment to St.Charles,” Sister Normahas said.

Most important, SisterNorma said, is that the or-phans “have their basicneeds to be in school andlearn.”

The Rev. Charles Ka-sonde, bishop of Solwezi,also expressed his grati-tude,

“We feel so blessed tohaveSt.Timothyparishasour regular collaboratorto support the orphansand vulnerable childrenhere in Solwezi, Zambia. Ican imagine how muchtime and efforts that youput together to come upwith this project. Whatyou are doing is a clearmanifestation of God’slove to humanity,” thebishop wrote.

The yard sale, whichtakes place 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.Aug. 9, is a one-day trans-formation of St. Tim’sparking lots into a corri-dorof 70-plusvendorsandthousdands of shoppersand it takesmanyvendorsand volunteers to make itsuccessful for St. Charles.Contact Yard Sale Chair-man, John Benton, 859-485-1172 [email protected].

Continued from Page B6

I knowGod is workingon a certain area inmylife whenHe allows acertainword, idea, orScripture to continuallysurface in and aroundmylife. It’s as thoughHe’ssaying, “You’ve got somework to do here, Julie.”

Recently, He enrolledme inHumility School.How do I know?Becausein just the lastmonth, thetopic inmyBible study onSundaymornings,mar-riage class onWednesdayevenings and the latestbook I am reading haveall taken a dive into thetopic of humility.

“OK, I get it.” (Well Iget that I am supposed tolearn to bemore humble,but how do I “get it?”) Inotherwords how do Ilearn humility?

I suppose a good placeto start is with a clearunderstanding of justwhat humility is: Theabsence of any feelings of

beingbetterthanothers; amodestor lowview ofone’s ownimpor-tance.

Afterpraying

that Godwould allowmeto put others first, andremove pride and judg-ment frommy character,I came across two in-teresting strategies toincreasing humility inone’s life.

»Being obedient toGod’s specific instruc-

tions; Now.» Keep yourself small

through daily interactionswith those around you.

Uh oh. This could be aproblem.How does oneexert obedience to in-structions she is not evensure she is hearing? And,how does onewho thriveson the spotlight, and lovesto be heard, keep herselfsmall in her daily inter-actionswith those aroundher? (I’m speaking from ahypothetical standpoint,of course.)

And then, there is theall-important question;“Why do I really need tobe humble?” Selfishseems towork prettywell

for some in this day andage. Let’s get one thingstraight, humility is abso-lutely necessary forGodtowork in our lives. Hecannot clean up ourmess-es until we get out ofHisway, so thatHe can get towork.

Imay not have gradu-atedHumility School yet,

but I have developedsome study habits thatwill hopefully helpme onan exam.

In order to hearGod, Imust be nearGod. Andnot just throughmy dailydevotions, or churchattendance; but throughmymorningwalks andbits of quiet time during

the day, simplywhis-pering just as Samuel did,“Speak Lord for yourservant hears.” 1Samuel3:9.
